I dont see this as any sign that EN is in trouble. Pretty much everyone has seen this coming for almost a year now (considering she barely streamed anymore).
Hell, other than Fauna coming out of left field and the only one who seemed to have some sort of actual beef with Cover, the rest of the graduations in EN were people that everyone saw coming. Gura and Ame were constantly talking about burn out (even as Dooby "Ame" has talked about how she doesnt feel like streaming as much) and Mumei has had a chronic and deteriorating throat/vocal cord condition for years now.
Meanwhile, both Advent and Justice have seen pretty significant growth even compared to Council and Myth, so it certainly isnt translating to the fan side.
Unfortunately, Mumei already confirmed on her past life account that if she comes back to streaming, it is going to be a while because it would take pretty extensive therapy to get rid of her chronic cough, and it has gotten to the point where it can be painful for her to speak long term (it was part of the reason she turned off her super-chats: She felt guilty about taking peoples money and not being able to read their messages, because she would have too many messages to read them before being in pain).
Trust me, she was one of my Oshi's so it hurts. But at the same time, I saw it coming.

Oh crap, I had no idea Mumei/whatever she calls herself now had that serious a condition. Poor girl.

Wow. What a kind-hearted woman. Not like those greedy live-action streamers.
I wish I'd known this sooner so I could have helped her.
